Compasionate

I had an issue with my employer for terminating me without final pay or benefits claim. John was able to assist & guide me in a process that eventually resulted in extending a termination from 6 to 1 year of salary equivalence, including benefits extension. I was so happy and satisfied with the outco...me and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services to anyone in need of employment law attorneys in albuquerque new mexico along with https://thebennettlawgroup.com/employment-lawyers-albuquerque/

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
